Epoxy based polymers are one of the most versatile thermoset resins that can be modified into a multitude of applications and fit very specific task as demanded by the application. It offers ease of use and generally safer to handle over other types of thermoset resins which makes it the choice material for many high performance composites.
New ideas demand new technology in material science and the skill to compose its constituent into a synergistic composite.
Impact testing is one of the most revealing test methods that demonstrate a material's ability to resist and withstand a high-rate of pressure loading, its behavior during and after the impact can define its maximum mechanical property and conditional limits upon its destruction.
The impact resistance of an object provides the ultimate measure of its resistance to its definitive destruction. Governed by the many laws and dynamics of physics, a skilled chemist or materials engineer can determine the design equilibrium and ultimate performance by careful analysis of the material s disassociation and the manner of its destruction.
With this knowledge, other aspects of mechanical performance can be accurately derived and through skilful engineering one can determine the impact energies the part can withstand and design the construction that will resist such assaults over the projected life span.
This will provide a higher degree of blush resistance for coating applications.
If the MAX BOND LOW VISCOSITY is going to be utilized as an adhesive, maintain the 1:1 mix ratio. As an adhesive, humidity is not a concern since the mixed resin is isolated from moisture by the substrates being bonded together.
DURING COLDER SEASON, THE EPOXY RESIN AND THE CURING AGENT WILL BE THICKER OR HIGHER IN VISCOSITY. TEMPER BOTH COMPONENTS TO AT LEAST 23oC TO 25oC BEFORE MIXING. A GOOD METHOD IS TO PLACE THE BOTTLES IN A WARM ROOM FOR 24 HOURS OR PLACE THE CONTAINERS IN A PLASTIC BAG, SEAL AND PLACE IT IN A HOT WATER BATH FOR 2 TO 3 HOURS. ALLOW THE RESIN KIT TO ACCLIMATE BACK TO ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE MIXING. THIS WILL THIN THE RESIN TO THE CONSISTENCY AS SHOWN ON THE VIDEO DEMONSTRATION.
ALTHOUGH THE FEATURED EPOXY RESIN SYSTEM IS DIFFERENT THAN THE
THE GENERAL TECHNIQUE AND PROPER MIXING PROCEDURE IS APPLICABLE.
MAX BOND LV A/B is a two-part epoxy/polyamide based adhesive system especially formulated to provide structural bond strength to a variety of substrates. It is a low viscosity version of MAX BOND A/B providing improved ease of use and faster fabric wetting. It is well suite for use in low temperature or cold weather environments.
Epoxy/Polyamide based resins are one of the best systems to use for applications that will be subject to water immersion and marine environments. It provides excellent resistance to saltwater, acidic and caustic exposure and retains its physical properties even after prolonged water immersion. MAX BOND LV A/B is 100 % reactive solids and does not contain Ozone Depleting Chemicals (ODC).
MAX BOND LV A/B will cure even in humid and low temperature conditions. It is generally room temperature cured but can be snap cured at elevated temperatures for a short period of time.
MAX BOND LV A/B demonstrates structural bond strengths to a variety of substrates commonly used in composites industry such as, steel, aluminum and soft metals, fiberglass, concrete and ceramic and most plastics. MAX BOND LV A/B performs well in wide range of service temperature and resists cracking and delamination due to cyclic vibration, thermal expansion and contraction
MAX BOND LV A/B is self-leveling and easily poured into place and is well suited for mixed meter-dispensing equipment or mix and pour techniques. Large mixes of up to 300 grams are possible without generating excessive exothermic temperatures.

In this most simple weave pattern, warp and fill yarns are interlaced over and under each other in alternating fashion. The plain weave provides good stability, porosity and the least yarn slippage for a given yarn count. Mock Leno
The mock leno weave is used where relatively low numbers of yarns are involved. The leno weave locks the yarns in place by crossing two or more warp threads over each other and interlacing with one or more filling threads. Four Harness Satin (Crowfoot)
The four harness satin weave is more pliable than the plain weave and is easier to conform to curved surfaces typical in reinforced plastics. In this weave pattern there is a three by one interfacing where a filling yarn floats over three warp yarns and under one. Eight Harness Satin
The eight harness satin is similar to the four harness satin except that one filling yarn floats over seven warp yarns and under one. This is a very pliable weave and is used for forming over curved surfaces. Twill weave

* Mix the resin only when all needed materials needed are ready and within reach
Mix the proper amount of resin needed
A good rule of thumb is to calculate 65% fiberglass to 35% resin by weight, this is the optimum ratio used in high performance prepreg (short for pre-impregnated fabrics) typically used for aerospace and high performance structural application.
If a scale is available, measuring by weight will insure better composite fabrication and repeatability .
Place all the precut fiberglass to be used on a scale and determine the weight. (FW)
1 yard of 8 ounce fabric at 38 inches wide weighs 224 grams
1 yard of 10 ounce fabric at 38 inches wide weighs 280 grams
(ounces per square yard also know as aerial weight which is the most common unit of measurement for composite fabrics)
To determine how much resin is needed to adequately impregnate the fiberglass, use the following equation:
(Total Weight of Fabric used divided by 60%) and then multiply it by 40% = weight of mixed resin needed
(224 grams of dry fiberglass / 60%) X 40% = 149.3 grams of resin needed for 1 square yard of 8 ounce fiberglass
So for every square yard of 8 ounce fabric, you will need 4.50 fluid ounces of mixed resin
Apply the mixed resin unto the surface and then lay the fabric and allow the resin to saturate the fabric.NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND This is one of the most common processing error that yields sub-standard laminates.By laying the fiberglass unto a film of resin, less air bubbles are entrapped during the wetting-out stage.
Air is pushed up and outwards instead of forcing the resin through the fabric which will entrap air bubbles
This technique will displace air unhindered and uniformly through the fiberglass with minimal mechanical agitation or spreading.
Although different resin systems were used in the following presentations, the general processing and procedure of use will be similar than the MAX BOND LOW VISCOSITY.

Step Four: Proper Curing Room Temperature Cured Epoxy Resins
Proper and thorough mixing of the epoxy resin and curing agent is to achieve the optimum mechanical property of any epoxy resin. Please view our "Epoxy Mixing Technique" video presentation above for more information. Adding more curing agent more than the recommended mix ratio will not promote a faster cure.
Improving performance via post heat cure
Typically a short heat post cure will further improve the mechanical performance of most epoxy resins. In general room temperature cured epoxy resin has a maximum operating temperature of 250 F AND 160 F under stress or load.
Some darkening or yellowing of the epoxy resin may occur over heat cured.
The affinity of an amine compound (curing agent) to moisture and carbon dioxide creates carbonate compound and forms what is called amine blush.
Amine blush is a wax-like layer that forms as most epoxies cure. If the epoxy system is cured in extreme humidity (>70%), it will be seen as a white and waxy layer that must be removed by physical sanding of the surface followed by an acetone wipe. Amine blush is due to moisture as well as the amount of carbon dioxide present during the curing process.
To insure a strong bond, items or substrates to be bonded must be clean and free from contaminants such dust, grease, oils and other foreign materials. Please refer to our Surface Preparation Bulletin for suggested surface cleaning method And Proper Bonding Techniques.
Apply via brush or roller coat properly mixed resin on both substrates and clamp or apply adequate pressure so that a thin bondline is achieved, approximately .003 to .007 inch minimum bondline thickness. Allow to cure overnight.
For Encapsulating Electronic Parts
Premix the Part A and Part B into a container and then pour the mixed component into another clean container and mix for another minute. This will insure a thoroughly mixed resin is achieved. Pre arrange the wire leads to the desired position and secure. Pour the mixed MAX BOND into the component housing to be encapsulated insuring complete and level coverage. Pour or dispense only from one corner of the component casing and allow the material to completely flow and fill through out the casing. This technique will reduce voids and air entrapment.
For Use as a Concrete or Wood Penetrating or as a Water Sealant
Mix equal parts of Part A and Part B in a clean container and thin with acetone or MEK (about 90 parts mixed resin to 10 parts solvent). Apply on cleaned and dried wood or concrete in thin coats using a roller coater or bristle brush. Work in small areas and with good ventilation. Acetone or MEK is highly flammable solvent. Remove all ignition sources before application. Allow to cure for 36 hours.
